SPRING

On Feb. 2nd, Jimmy the Ground saw his shadow to indicate six more weeks of winter. But almost two months have passed and I still have to turn on the heat in my house. In addition, rain has fallen more often than not, the sun seldom shines, and the temperature outside is cool.

Until this afternoon, I was almost ready to believe that spring would never arrive. I woke up to gray skies and the threat of rain. But by mid-afternoon the sun came out and I noticed for the first time that green buds and blossoming leaves have sprouted on the trees. Furthermore, in addition to some dandelions, I even spotted many daffodils as I drove to a friend’s house. The temperature hasn’t risen much above 60 degrees. But other signs of spring are sneaking up everywhere to make me hope that spring and summer will finally arrive.

RAINY DAY

I hate going to the grocery store on a rainy day. And wouldn’t you know it. It’s raining today and I have to go to the grocery store. I only shop for food every couple of weeks because it is such a hassle. And so when I do shop, I stock up on frozen foods and canned goods that will last. But, now I’m low on several staples – milk, bread, juice, etc. Thus, I have no choice but to do my shopping this afternoon.

So why does the rain bother me? Very simple. When I walk out of the store, I can’t push the cart filled to the top with groceries and hold my umbrella at the same time. Such a dilemma. Actually, I should consider myself lucky if this is the worst problem I have all day. Meantime, since I will wear my winter jacket, I can just pull up the hood and I won’t get too wet anyway.
